[IronPython] datetime.strptime is missing in IronPython?

[Ken MacDonald]

Hi Peter,
I just did this myself; starting with the times that I parsed out from a
TextBox, plus the yr/mo/day values from 'now':
        from System import DateTime    *<== note: DateTime not datetime*
        new_time = DateTime(yr, mo, day, self.hh, self.mm, self.ss)

I did find some other ways to do this by googling, but this worked nicely
for me as I had already parsed/validated the TextBox time; I did also find
some suggestion that strptime might appear in a future release.... how
future, I can't say. Good luck!
Ken
